Anyone got the Summon Elemental Resist support gem ? I'm hoping it won't become mandatory for summon builds in endgame content... Cause my Minions did survive pretty good before the patch... Hopefully it will help with the Normal and Cruel leveling though... Those elemental enemies in ACT 3 really destroyed summons.
Sidhebreath+Midnight Bargain gives me 27% minion speed, and I have 16% quality zombies which adds another 16%. The issue is not their runspeed, it's the fact that they get hung up on walls/doorways and no matter how fast they are, they still don't stay right with you when you move but instead follow a fairly large distance behind.
One idea that I think would help is to let minions teleport with you when you cast Lightning Warp, similar to teleporting in diablo 2. Lightning Warp has a built in delay before you actually teleport and there are range/line of sight restrictions so I don't think it would be overpowered. It would definitely help summoners to have their minions in combat sooner though.
It seems that Soul Eater is especially bad for us Summoners. The monster seems to gain speed for every minion of yours it kills. Especially bad with Spell Totem + Summon Skeletons. I had an undying alchemist that lobbed bombs faster so fast the animation bugged.

Agreed. ^^
That necro. This guide is from before open beta btw. Or maybe from open beta, right at the start. A lot of things are outdated or done differently nowadays.
-Sorry I did not read 32 pages.
-I'm not quoting the guide.
-I searched the forum for lightning warp, summons and anything related to minion management.
I'll cut it down to just this

Since beta and until today, there are some VERY good ideas out there that should be implemented.
